Vaccum brush not working. Filters clear of debris has been smoking will not **** anything up help! I cleaned the brush up, cut hair out, etc. Still the brush will not turn and it smokes a little, is this a belt problem?

My brushes on my hoover streamvac will not rotate. I removed and cleaned assuring that the filter was also cleaned. The only different thing I have done is to insert the upholstery attachment and removed it after use (didn't work so well) suction seemed weak. I am also noticing that there is air being blown out of sides where the dirty water container is. (don't recall that in the past).

The brushes don't turn. It runs and dispenses shampoo and water and sucks it up but the brushes stand still.I cleaned them and filter etc still doesn't work.

There is a plastic shaft on the back of the block brush (spin scrubbers),\015\012 these wear out or break. You may need to replace the block brush. Or if the shaft is not broken it could also be the Turbine Gear. This is \015\012what the block bru ...

Scrubbing brushes I have cleaned the filter, checked the dial to make sure it is turned to high and cleaned all of the brushes. Still I can't get the brushes to rotate. What now?

Hi, I have not owned my electrolux pronto 2 in 1 for very long but the roller brush has stopped turning. The handheld part works and the green light is on. I have done a thorough cleaning of the roller brush and all other removable parts. What might be causing the roller brush to not work? Thanks, Jen

My hoover spin scrub brushes stopped spinning and i have cleaned intake filter and tried to turn the thing that spins it...when brushes are off the hole turns then as soon as i connect brushes the brushes will not turn what else can i do!!???

The brushed on my steamvac Dual V F7227 are no longer working. We have pulled and cleaned the brushes, and the filter, but the brushes still will not come on. I saw a reply to one person that it is the belt. If so... how do I change it?

Hoover Steam Vac Dual V w/ SpinScrub Vacuum

The unit works fine for 10-15 minutes, then the power cuts off.
If I let it rest for 15-20 minutes, sometime it starts right up again.

Dyson dc animal 27 suddenly very difficult to push on carpet. have freed brushes from any hair etc., checked filters are clean etc. Any suggestions please?

My Dyson DC07 is screaming load. I have replaced the lifetime filter and the hepa filters. I also replaced the clutch and brush. I took the canister apart and cleaned it. It works, but is so loud something else must be wrong

My Windsor Sensor XP12 says the bag is full when it's not. I have removed the hose, brush, and filter and cleaned everything. I can put a bag on without the cover and it works great. However, when I add the bag to the front cover and close the latch the right way, it does not work. I'm thinking that the cover is not seating the bag correctly over the hole, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions?

My dc 05 isnt working and i cant understand why , i have cleaned all filters etc and i also changed the fuse on the plug , which after i didi that it attempted to start but then jus cut out again so i thought the fuse had blown again , so i checked the fuse but its working fine could there still be a blockage somewhere in it or is it something electrical which means my dyson has to go to the dump :(

Most common cause of this problem is a wire broken inside the flex, usually either just where it leaves the plug (easy to fix) or at the other end (more of a problem). In either case, this is no reason to dump the machine - it can be fixed at a fract ...

I have a Hoover Steam Vacuum, All Terrain, and the bristle brushes are not rotating. They appear to be seated properly and, the entire vacuum is clean and free of lint, hair etc., so everything is working properly except the brushes do not rotate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I checked the owner's manual and the parts breakdown for your model F5807. Both showed that your model has a stationary brush strip and not rotating brushes. Is F5807 the correct model number? ...

You have a broken brush bar belt. Just simply replace it with a new one. This is very cheap and easy to fix.Pull the cover off of the bottom of the Vac and the belt will be there. If it's not broken then it is still stretched to the point ...

I purchased a hoover windtunnel 2 model#u8361900 in Dec 2007.I am very disappointed because the self cleaning filter is not turning and particles keep clogging in that area. I have manually removed the particles but the filter will not turn.I also haven't been able to use the pet brush for some time.The cleaner has not been used hard about once a week since it was purchased.I am not happy that this product has stopped working effiently since purchased 6 months ago. Thank you Marcia Long Pottstow

My pet hair eraser smells like it is burning all the time and sounds funny. The brush will not spin once you have it on the carpet unless you hold it up a little while you are cleaning but then the whole vaccume is not on the floor. I have cleaned all filters and all and it does the same thing. My sister has the same machine because I raved at how wonderful this thing was for pet hair and mine has not worked right since it was about a year old and hers has had the same exact problem since it was

We had the same problem, and it turned out that the roller wheel height setting had broken, for no apparent reason, and was "floppy" so we had to lock it in to one setting with epoxy. Limits utility, but it works. Sort of. ...
Bissell Upright Vacuum - The Pet Hair Eraser 1 ea Vacuum

Oreck XL21 just will not work at all any more. Beater is clean - belt is fine. Fresh bag - inflates. Took the thing apart - checked for blockages at intake, bag entry, and the tube.
It just doesn't vacuum anything. No suction at all for anything stronger than air.
I'd say it doesn't ****, but that would be ironic.
Are these known for just "quitting" after a while? We take it in for maintenance as recommended to replace filters, etc.
Is there some miracle trick to make it work or sho

Did you make sure the brush turns freely? Even though it is clean, if it does not turn freely with the belt, it will not beat the carpet and pull debris up into the unit.\015\012\015\012Another (drastic?) thing to try would be to take the unit ...
